Colorado's 2019 Election is Tuesday, Nov 5th and it matters!

People rarely think of gun rights when voting for a city council, mayor, or school board, but the gun grabbers have their tentacles all the way down to the municipal level - and it has been proven with things such as the Assault Weapons Ban in Boulder, the recent bogus Gun Safety Resolution in Longmont, the Douglas County School board voting to remove a charter school who had authorized armed school staff, and then even the other way with Second Amendment Sanctuary Resolutions in other towns such as Commerce City.

I wish I had the time to speak with everyone who you'll find on your ballot, but unfortunately I do not. That said, I do have some strong recommendations in a few very important races. Here they are:

Longmont:

Regan Sample - Ward 3 This ward is being vacated by councilwoman Bonnie Finley. Bonnie has been one of the strongest pro-2A and limited government voices on that council. Regan will fill her shoes well and keeping this seat is critical. Regan's opponent is being funded by the other anti-gun sitting councilmembers in hopes to push more of their agenda.

Matt Garrett - At-Large Matt is running against sitting councilwoman Joan Peck, who recently voted for the extreme anti-gun resolution the town passed. Matt is a Longmont native and solid in his pro-gun principles.

Learn more about both candidates at www.voterightlongmont.com.

Commerce City:

Benjamin Huseman - Mayor Benjamin is a current sitting Commerce City councilman and led the successful effort to declare the town a Second Amendment Sanctuary. Watch his speech about that here. He is definitely worthy of your vote!

Broomfield:

Kim Tavendale - Ward 1
Brent Hultman - Ward 2
Kevin Jacobs - Ward 3
Emily Joo - Ward 4
David Beacom - Ward 5

Pueblo:

Dave DeCenzo - Ward 2 Dave was on the original successful Recall Angela Giron team in 2013 and is dedicated advocate for gun rights.

Douglas County School Board:

Franceen Thompson
Andy Jones
Kory Nelson

Jefferson County School Board:

Rob Applegate
Susan Miller

Garfield County School Board RE2:

Seth McMillan

If you have other candidates you know are worthy of support, please let me know! Please also don't hesitate to forward this email on to others who may live in these areas.

I also encourage a NO vote on Prop CC as this will eliminate TABOR refunds FOREVER with the legislature being able to change where the money goes at will, and it could go to anti-gun efforts. And hey, that's money we could be spending on guns and ammo and defending our gun rights!

Everyone probably voted early, but if you haven't, ballots are due tomorrow.

That's good to read. I'd filled out the ballot except for the actual elections (did yes on DD for the legalization aspect, no on everything else), but was wanting to review the candidates. Both of the mayoral candidates for Longmont suck, and there's one position where only one guy is running, so I refused to fill those two out. For the council, there are 4 individuals. Two are hard no's, one was a maybe, but I liked Matt's "must look at all positions" view, seemed the most reasonable. I've signed and sealed it, so seeing here now that he's also pro-2A, that makes me happy I went with him.

The only elections in Bennett were for school board directors, cant find much on any of them.

For the record, I went no on DD. The "Water Plan" is extremely vague with no specifics. Having the tax revenue exempt from constitutional spending limits also doesn't blow my skirt up.

These vice taxes to fund "fill in the blank obligation here" also never seem to resolve the issues and they'll come back and ask for more next time around.

I voted no on everything that mentioned tax on my ballot.

Key words that require a “No” vote-Tax, Increase and Budget.

Wife and I voted "NO" across the board. I have hope that CC won't pass, but yet in the last election the "D"s got voted in about every where and surely by now everyone knows that they stand for more taxes. SO, CC isn't about raising taxes, but their frickin' TV add sure makes it sound all warm and fuzzy with know mention that the state wants to avoid paying back the over tax that they receive. It's for the children, after all. I'm afraid too many people will vote for it because, "it doesn't raise taxes". I suppose if CC doesn't pass, we'll simply start seeing more "fee" increases, to get around the TABOR issue.
Crooks, the Dems. are.

No across the board was a pretty easy vote.
